$ 3. Savrutes. Visits. UNIFORMS, AND MEDALS 
The salutes to be paid to officers in Colonial Governments 
ire formally laid down in Nos. 144-7 of the Colonial Regula- 
ions. Governors are also authorized to sanction such salutes 
as may have been customary, and also such as they may 
deem right and proper at religious ceremonies, and further to 
cause the usual salutes to be fired at the opening and closing 
of the Houses of Parliament, but these salutes are in no 
nase to exceed nineteen guns, It is customary on all such 
becasions for guards of honour of the local forces to be pro- 
vided, and for the National Anthem to be played. 
Provision is also made in Nos. 156-61 of the Colonial Regu- 
lations with regard to official visits between naval officers 
and Governors and Lieutenant-Governors. The principle is 
that the Governor shall always receive the first visit from 
the senior officer in command, but a Lieutenant-Governor 
pays the first visit to a flag officer or Commodore, 1st class, 
who is a Commander-in-Chief. Special rules are laid down 
as to the payment of return visits and other details. 
According to the regulations approved by the King, uni- 
forms? of the first class are assigned to the Governors- 
General of Canada and Australia, the six states of the 
Commonwealth and New Zealand, and to the Governor- 
General of the Union of South Africa. The Governor of 
Newfoundland is only entitled to a uniform of the second 
class, which is also granted to Lieutenant-Governors and 
Cabinet Ministers of Canada, the Commonwealth of Aus- 
tralia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa. The 
civil uniform of the third class is assigned to members of 
the Ministries in the states of the Commonwealth and in 
Newfoundland, to members of the Privy Council of the 
Dominion of Canada, who are not Cabinet Ministers, and 
" This applies also to the Lieutenant-Governors of the Provinces, as was 
admitted by Lord Kimberley in a dispatch of November 7, 1872; see 
Ontario Sess. Pap., 1873, No. 67; Lefroy. Legislative Power in Canada.
